IndustrialDesignFilter: Help me design a thermostat scale!
I'm trying to design a thermostat scale, but can't figure out the transition between the two ends.
One end: spangly purple flannel plaid.
Other end: straight bands of pink, vanilla & blue, in a thin veneer finish.
What should the centre of the scale be? How can I transition between the two ends? All suggestions welcome.

Spangly purple plaid, and pink, vanilla and blue stripes? On a thermostat? What's wrong with blue on one end and red on the other?

Divide the two patterns with a diagonal white stripe. Make it as wide as it needs to be to distinctly separate the patterns.
But I'm with box. I don't understand from your descriptions which pattern is warm and which is cold, and they don't sound like the compliment each other. My overall impression is "yikes." Think usability first.
